The Atlantis Fritillary (Speyeria atlantis) is a rich orange butterfly marked with bold black spotting on the upper wings. The underside of the hindwings features distinctive silver spots set against a darker background, giving it a striking and elegant appearance.
Native to North America, Speyeria atlantis is found across much of Canada and the northern United States, particularly in forested and mountainous regions. It is commonly associated with moist woodlands, meadows, and forest edges where its host plants grow.
Interesting Fact:
Like other fritillaries, this species relies on violets (Viola spp.) as host plants for its caterpillars, and the larvae overwinter shortly after hatching before resuming development in spring.
This specimen is preserved at A1 quality and is carefully stored in a protective paper triangle, ensuring it arrives safely and is ready for spreading or long-term collection. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
